This port was initially built on the Defender’s Shore by the Jrusteli God Learners in the Second Age (c. 750). For a while it was prosperous, trading with the Praxian nomads and waxing fat off the Cradle which floated down the River of Cradles, full of Giant children and great magical items.
When the Giants took their revenge on the Jrusteli, Zola Fel, the River God, swore a great oath to assist them. Silt began to pile up in the harbor of Corflu. For a century the Jrusteli dredged channels and tried to propitiate the god Zola Fel, but in vain. When the Jrusteli fell, the seas were closed, Corflu was sacked and abandoned, and for centuries was just a spooky watering place for nomads. The silting was so great that the course of the river shifted, and now the River of Cradles empties some 20 km east of Corflu.
With the conquest of Prax by the Lunar Empire, Corflu has sought a new prosperity. The Empire is attempting to turn the ruin into a thriving port.
